Convert between the binary and decimal number systems.

Conversion should include

• identifying the most commonly used numbering systems and the mathematical relationships between them
• describing the reasons for converting between numbering systems
• applying equations to ensure successful conversion
• explaining the conversion between the binary and decimal number systems, as well as the use of Gray Coding for position sensing and control.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What is a numerical system?
• What are the common codes used in advanced electronics, and where are they found?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of parallel and serial data?
• How are conversions made from one code system to another?
• How do different code systems affect the transmission of data?
